About this map

Montrose serves as the eastern anchor of this Susquehanna County landscape, where the headwaters of the Wyalusing Creek system carve through the terrain. The hydrological network is well-defined by the East Branch Wyalusing Creek, South Branch Wyalusing Creek, and several smaller tributaries like Roe Creek and Shelp Creek. This area's rural character is evidenced by the distribution of small settlements and historical sites such as Fairdale, Snows Mill, and Bumps Corners.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds, including North Hill Cemetery and Holy Name of Mary Cemetery, alongside family-named landmarks like Louden Hill. The southern portion of the map is dominated by a cluster of water bodies featuring Big Elk Lake and Little Elk Lake, near the community of Elk Lake. Modern infrastructure such as Zaverton Airport near South Montrose appears alongside established rural routes like Darrow Hill Rd and Lamphere Rd.
